Scottish World Cup Fans Drain Boston’s Beer Supply

Scottish World Cup supporters, the Tartan Army, have flooded Boston bars, draining beer taps and turning the city’s pubs into their busiest in decades as Scotland plays and fans celebrate around World Cup matches. Bar owners say demand has been overwhelming—even a typical major weekend can’t compare—and some venues ran out of kegs and popular brews. Massachusetts lawmakers also extended alcohol service to 3 a.m. through July to accommodate World Cup crowds, as pubs prepare for more high-profile games on June 19 and beyond, a development that could boost football’s profile in the U.S.

Tartan Army drains Boston pubs as World Cup fever hits town

Scottish football fans, the Tartan Army, have been reveling in Boston during the World Cup, filling restaurants and pubs and even marching to Fenway after a 1-0 win over Haiti. Their heavy drinking left bars scrambling: Samuel Adams Boston Lager was sold out at the Boston Taproom with four times the typical four-day holiday volume, prompting an emergency delivery. Hennessy’s Bar reported tripling St. Patrick’s Day sales and also sold out, while other retailers sold out Budweiser and Corona. As Scotland was set to play Morocco in Foxborough, bars hoped supplies would rebound for Friday’s game.

Bars Edge Ahead as On-Premise Drinking Rises and At-Home Alcohol Purchases Fall

Bank of America data show a shift in U.S. alcohol spending in 2025: spending at bars rose about 4%, while retail spending on alcohol fell roughly 5%, pushing alcohol’s share of consumer outlays to a four-decade low. The divergence is fueling bar-driven growth and prompting venues to expand menus with nonalcoholic options, a trend led by Gen Z. Simultaneously, U.S. alcohol exports slumped amid tariffs—wine exports globally down about 33%, Canada down about 77%—and major producers like Molson Coors and Heineken warned of weaker earnings or job cuts as demand softens. The narrative sits alongside ongoing debate about alcohol’s social role and updated dietary guidance to drink less.

"Oregon Businesses Struggle Financially After Winter Storms"

Independent restaurants and bars in Oregon are seeking immediate aid from the state to address the financial losses caused by winter storms, requesting a 90-day suspension of payroll tax, city and state business taxes, and licensing fees, as well as a three-month moratorium on commercial evictions and the creation of a relief fund. They also seek improved road maintenance and collaboration with utility companies to reduce power outages. The closures have been catastrophic for businesses, with average losses of $23,000 per location and an average wage loss of $1,800 for employees, putting them at risk of permanent closure without assistance.

"Innovative Cleveland Bars Broadcast Browns Game in Unique Ways"

Some Cleveland bars and restaurants are facing a streaming dispute that prevents them from airing the Browns playoff game due to a contract issue between DirecTV and NBC. To work around this, the Winking Lizard Taverns will be showing the game on Telemundo, but without sound, as it is in Spanish. Customers can use their phones to listen to the English play-by-play. The issue only affects DirecTV subscribers, and another option is to use an antenna, although weather conditions may impact reception.
